Disabling Head Tremor in a Patient with DYT1 Mutation

Dystonic head tremor is known to be a feature in some patients with DYT1 mutation. However, isolated tremor of the head without relevant cervical dystonia has rarely been described. We report here a patient with the three-bp GAG deletion in the DYT1 gene (904_906delGAG) who had severe head tremor in...

description Dystonic head tremor is known to be a feature in some patients with DYT1 mutation. However, isolated tremor of the head without relevant cervical dystonia has rarely been described. We report here a patient with the three-bp GAG deletion in the DYT1 gene (904_906delGAG) who had severe head tremor in the frame of a generalized limb dystonia.
